Denver tried to trade for Rip to keep Melo happy?

The Nuggets are still trying to figure out some way to keep the 26-year-old Anthony in the Mile High City, despite his clear desire to leave. A league source said Denver had made a recent attempt to pry Detroit guard Rip Hamilton from the Pistons without success to show Anthony that the organization could still put talented players around him.

With Rip's salary we would they would have to give us more than couple of players....I would have taken Ty Lawson and Nene, but no way they would give those two up....maybe a number 1 and the Birdman?? Or a Rip for Kmart??

Still if Rip's name is in the mix, wonder if we could even be involved in the 4 team deal??
